    Difference between compound wall and stacked wall ??

    Hi everyone, is it true that wall if it has multiple layers it became compound instead of basic ? 9i just ask this question because it came before on my assessment test and i was thinking like that way that basic is generic wall.
    compound : layers after core and before
    stacked : two walls or more
    is what i am believing about compound with comparing to stacked and basic is true
    Thanks :beer:

    Not the way I understand it.

    Basic is when the wall has layers that are constant in the vertical direction. In other words, a layer of brick, a stud layer, a gyp layer.
    Compound is when you split the vertical layer. In other words, take the brick layer in the basic wall. Now, split that layer vertically and add soldier coursing at various elevations.
    Stacked wall is two or more different basic (or compound) walls stacked on top of each other.

    At least that's how I've always thought of it. I've attached a screen shot of a compound wall that happens to be in the model I'm working on right now. You can see that, although I have one layer, it has different "levels", with different materials. This is how I created a white block wall with tan accent stripes.

      That's my understanding as well.

        So from what i understand when you split the wall by clicking split region it become compound
        By the way at your beautiful semi realistic shot , the pipes did you do it by adaptive component or by MEP tools that come with revit 2013 ?(looks like interesting)

          Yep, that's it.

          As for the pipes, are you talking about the yellow ones running along the conveyor (they are actually rails)? If so, they are just extrusions in my conveyor section family. I built a front and end section, then a middle section which I nested and arrayed to accommodate any conveyor length I might need (since they are all different).

            So also when you classify for example a wall that has multiple sweep or reveal ? Are you going to put it under compound wall or basic ?
            This question come to my mind because i saw a question saying that compound wall has sweeps which actually makes me confused about this part.
            For example : Exterior - Brick and Block on Mtl. Stud that come with out of the box under what classification we should put it ?

              you lost me on that one, Ahmed. Wall system families are basic, stacked, and curtain. All of my compound walls are still under basic. I don't know that you can change that. I could be wrong, though. Never really thought about changing it. As long as you know where to go get your wall, it should be okay.

                I do not usually use that term compound wall with sweep or reveals and i think you are right but i am asking about compound wall because i am about to go for associate exam and with roadmap i heard a lot about compound wall in multi choice they asked me like this which is used with compound ??
                -Sweeps - layers - reveals -combined that is really confusing but i still think that split region for vertical wall make sense for compound wall description.

                  Oh, okay. I understand you. When you build a wall, you can add sweeps and reveals in the wall edit dialogue box. The same place where the split region, merge region, etc. etc. are. So yes, I would consider a wall with a built in sweep or reveal a compound wall. Now, again, I may be wrong because I never gave it much thought. So, you may want to wait for another answer. :laugh:

                    Compound or vertically compound? Compound walls are a type of basic wall that has multiple layers. Vertically compound walls are when you split a layer to create multiple regions within one layer.
